Long Island Wrongful Death Lawyers
Wrongful Death lawyers
Serving the residents of Long Island and all 5 boroughs in NY (Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Bronx, and Staten Island).
A wrongful death claim exists when a person dies due to the legal fault of another person. That person could be the driver at fault in a car accident or a bartender who served alcohol to a drunk driver, among others. A client came to us because his father, who was a trucker, was killed in a vehicle accident. After our investigation, it emerged that the vehicle had defective brakes. As a result, after a legal battle, Sullivan and Sullivan LLP won $750,000 on behalf of our client. The trucking company was held responsible for not making sure the vehicle was checked and working properly. If you want us to fight for you, contact us for a free case evaluation. We will provide a translator if you need one.
The Emotional and Legal Impact of Losing a Loved One
Coping with the loss of a loved one can be one of the most trying times of your life. When another party’s negligence or wrongdoing caused your family member’s death, the grieving process only intensifies. In these instances, you may have the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit and receive the closure and financial compensation to which you and your family are entitled.
Common Causes of Wrongful Death Lawsuits
While states across America have passed wrongful death statutes in order to compel manufacturing companies, hospitals, and doctors to act carefully in their professional responsibilities, wrongful deaths do occur in situations such as:
Emergency Room Medical Malpractice – Wrongful death lawsuits can stem from hospital workers’ negligence in the emergency room, such as performing surgical errors, misdiagnosing a health condition, or prematurely discharging a patient.
Anesthesia Malpractice – If an anesthesiologist fails in their professional responsibilities and administers a fatal, anesthetic dosage.
Vehicle Accidents – Automobile companies may be held responsible for defective products in their automobile, while trucking companies may be held accountable for truck accidents if their employee breaks trucking regulations.

Financial Compensation and Legal Closure
While no amount of financial payment can ever compensate for the loss of a loved one, being financially secure in your future and the comfort of responsible parties being brought to justice can provide a sense of closure and security to survivors.
The laws involved in wrongful death lawsuits are complicated and vary in each state. During your grieving period, consideration of a wrongful death lawsuit may not seem urgent – however, wrongful death cases must be filed within a specific period, or you risk losing your right to financial compensation.
